Cake too? You are my new best friend 😁😁Humdinger1 said:
Jwil, I look forward to you coming over! I'll just get the kettle on...once the cake's out of the oven xxjwil said:
Not at all Humdinger, it's lovely to have people post, and thank you for your lovely comments. Enid Blyton fans are always welcome, and seriously, I am coming round to playHumdinger1 said:
Cranky, not only do I admit to reading Enid Blyton- but my daughter and I read them out loud, acting them out and camping them up between fits of hysteria! Hope you don't mind me bounding into your diary jwil; I always read, enjoy and admire you. Love Humdinger xCRANKY40 said:When I was young I only knew one other person that read chalet school books but I've found quite a few more readers now that I'm in my fifties. If I found one that I haven't read I'd still buy it. I have to admit to a fondness for old style books - Angela Brazil, The Abbey Girls and I do recall the Bobbsey twins too. Malory Towers and St Clares anyone?
Well done to Little Miss. I've been trying to talk myself into doing a parkrun for the last 3 years! Sorry you're not feeling too good.
Haha, I agreeHumdinger1 said:School stories, that is. Love Malory Towers and St Clare's. Though I have to ask, what school would stay open once the goings-on came out? Girls shimmying up sheets tied to drain pipes to rescue others from burning buildings where the fire brigade is waiting for tall ladders to arrive; clinging onto cliffs while the sea rages below; nearly drowning several times; and wasn't there also a kidnap plot? Ah well, good clean open air fun to take our minds off everything else! And the Naughtiest Girl in the School where the kids make the rules and the head teachers pretty much do nothing!
Probably Ginger beer, but I'd prefer lemonadeWinterWarrior said:@jwil and @Humdinger1 shouldn’t that be with lashings of lemonade? Also preferably with a suspicious set of smugglers that you can capture before supper 😁 (can I come?)
An adventure is also required or at least a trip to Kirrin Island! You are welcome too "Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee5 -

Nearly payday, hurrah! Not much to report really otherwise. I did cash out from PA so will send that to the mortgage.
My biggest debt should fall off my credit report at the end of the month, I'm very excited It should make things look much better should we decide to remortgage in the future. One has already fallen off, and the final 'current' one will fall off next month. The rest are the ones I've already cleared so whilst the defaults will still show for another year or so, they have been settled, so will look better.
